I rarely come across a website that captures my imagination… and Spectra did it for me. I just saw this site by accident while browsing through another site. Spectra is msnbc’s visual newsreader. So instead of showing text and images, spectra presents this differently, via spiral and colored boxes (according to the [...]

Pictured above is not the much talked about Google Chrome OS. It is, in fact, just one of the windows inside the Google Chrome browser. While browsing, I right-clicked inside the screen to reveal a menu and saw “inspect element.”
When the announcement of Google Chrome OS came out, it did cross my mind [...]

While rummaging through my folders… while transferring and backing up files because my hard disk is already complaining, I stumbled on this file. It was the original design, didn’t look like the final product because the printer said it would be too hard to print the gradients.

About a week or two after I posted my thoughts on the redesign of SMART Communications’ logo, I saw this huge billboard in EDSA corner Pioneer St. promoting the new SMART Buddy campaign, this after their SMART Bro promotion. They have also come out with other campaigns for their other brands:
The logos to [...]

That was a mouthful.. and so is what it represents.  One of the difficulties I encountered working with Novare is trying to explain what Novare does in one sentence, or in this case, one glance.  The graph below will never see the light of day, but I still think it is worth showing.  The graph [...]

SMART Communications Inc. is, arguably, the top mobile network operator in the Philippines boasting of over 25 million subscribers.  I have written about the recent rebranding of their competitor Globe.
